Airborne snipers rearming on CB-98

The main sniper rifle of the Airborne Forces today is no longer SVD, but CB-98, RIA News a message from the deputy chief of staff of the troops, Alexander Shushukin.

“CB-98 is used. We have already left almost all the divisions of the SVD. If where they stayed, it is only for study, ”the general said on the RSN.

But "in the warehouses of the SVD rifle remain, being a backup weapons"He noted.

Shushukin added that “the main pistols today are the modernized Yarygin pistol and the modernized PM”.

Help Kalashnikov concern: “The sniper rifle CB-98 is designed to destroy targets at a distance of up to 1000 m. The design ensures the installation of sights of both Russian and foreign production. The CB-98 stock is convenient for shooting from both the left and the right shoulder, it has an adjustment of the butt length, the position of the back of the head and the crest of the butt both vertically and horizontally. To reduce the sound level of the shot, reduce the recoil energy, eliminate the muzzle flame, the CB-98 can be equipped with a tactical silencer. "

Uhh. Sorry, but how does a bolt rifle replace a semiautomatic device? Or the laurels of the American Marines, on the acquisition of problems, haunt?

[Mitek]

It seemed to me that it would be more optimal to introduce heavy sniper pairs, with weapons capable of fighting on equal terms with enemy snipers armed with rifles under 338 paw magnum.

[Slobber]

SV-98 and VS-8 (Izhevsk new is some rumors) are made near Lapu. Even I heard like stories that some kind of engineer who loves hunting, planned to do it already under 30-06. But the fact that they do not implement .338 widely is strange. Well, maybe they just don’t talk about it. Well, a little narrow and have .300 wines magician.

how a bolt rifle replaces a semiautomatic device

This is a weapon of special operations (including in the deep rear), here there is a decrease in visibility, the use of a silencer, plus a much greater distance, hence the bipod system, powerful optics and a simple design. On the "battlefield", the SVD has no equal and will never be, perhaps never, until there is a qualitative breakthrough in small arms, because even the most advanced is based on inventions and principles created more than a hundred years ago, but for special operations self-loading is redundant, the second shot at the target is doubtful , the reliability decreases due to the complexity of the design, and the automation system has a precision limit. Those. such a rifle should be in service unambiguously, especially in special forces, which are undoubtedly the airborne forces, which are in the deep rear of the enemy, but no one says that this device replaced the brilliant SVD, but only a certain range of tasks ...

That's right, but bites quotes below. Or this one of those who manage to claim that the T-90 is the heir to the T-34.

“SV-98 is being used. We have already left almost all units from SVD. If where they stayed, then only for study ”

[hrych]

We are talking about the Airborne Forces, they can, they study the SVD (as I understand it), although the Airborne Forces and special forces, but can also be used in ordinary combined-arms operations, where the SVD is God. Another thing is the infantry (motorized rifle) units there SV-98 will be used to a limited extent, apparently mainly RDG. Plus, apparently you will agree that contact combat weapons are falling with the advancement of technologies. Okay, urban conditions, there is no way to avoid shooting contact with the enemy, again the distance is in meters, there the AK is already leaning towards 104 series, and there is nothing for SVD to do there. That is to say, the SVD with its distance in the field remains without work, the presence in the trenches at such a distance of opponents is apparently not welcomed by the new doctrine of the Russian Federation, there are more advanced means to fry the "meat", here in recent years long-range large-caliber sniper rifles have begun to be introduced and etc. However, let's say there are mountains (or even the tundra of the north), where distance and power matter, and the use of advanced weapons is limited by conditions, then both of our gadgets will not remain out of work for a very long time.

I want to notice, in practice of the last decades, our paratroopers are used as motorized rifles ...

[mirag2]

-It has recently heard that our cartridge production is very low, and there are plans to commission new capacities. Maybe some cartridges of the right caliber and quality will now be made with us.

We were not sold a production license for the .338 Lapua. It was before the Ukrainian events.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

We look, we analyze ..

[Maks111]

In general, we need long-range rifles firing up to 2000 tm. Because we are already lagging behind in this area. If Western snipers shoot at us with 2000 tm then what will we respond to them with small arms?

[Gin and tonic]

Quote: Max111

If Western snipers will shoot at us from 2000 tm ....

That is unlikely to fall. Try to get at least 1000 m.
We will answer as always - 12,7 mm, 14,5 mm, 23 mm, 30 mm, 82 mm and 120 mm calibers.

What do you mean "how will we answer them"? Now we have started production of the modernized SVD-M, which, according to the developers' statement, beats up to 2400 SIGHTING range ...

[Vladimirets]

Quote: El_Nagual

up to 2400 SIGHT RANGE ...

With the same patron? "No, sonny, this is fantastic" (c).

[shinobi]

No. This device is paired with a modernized SVD. The new Dragunov has a thickened barrel, bipods, an adjustable stock, a picatinny frame on top and from the bottom of the forearm for different our and imported buns. Materials on composites. Outwardly, it became so militaristic that it was. About TTX nothing I will not say, I myself did not shoot from it, but it seems like they praise it.

[Aleksandr72]

I understand that this article was timed to the celebration of the Day of the Airborne Forces - Uncle Vasya’s troops. However, I was interested in the photo at the beginning of the article - I see this version of the SV-98 for the first time. I used to come across photos of this rifle only in this version (with and without PBS), pay attention to the different stock and handle:

[hydrox]

Funny, these are completely different rifles!

[Kos_kalinki9]

It looks like in the article photo SV-98M-338.

[The brightest]

How is it? They began to make SV-98 omnivorous (under any cartridge) and on an aluminum bed, after ORSIS t5000 appeared. These are not different rifles or models. This is now optional factory equipment.

[Dikson]

Ugly she ... some forearm is archaic ... And scratch the store with two fingers? Will it be convenient in winter gloves? This wire handle is also pinched ...

[Kos_kalinki9]

Well, about beauty, as they say - do not drink water from your face. Do not seek beauty, but seek reliability.

Its latest modifications in plastic now look like that. Here it is on the site of Izhmash:

[The brightest]

This SV-98 sample of 2013, it corrects those same terrible jambs of the log that you showed. The fact that you showed the glued bed, it swore so poorly that it got stuck with humidity ... The sight could be moved with one finger without straining ... In short, the terrible G. I sincerely hope that they will not rearm these logs, but the new one on aluminum bed.

[Barakuda]

If they stayed where, then only for study, ”the general said on the air of“ RSN ”.

Delusional article. In the troops of the SVD shaft.

[VadimSt]

Let me ask! Do you seem to live in Ukraine, or are you already serving in the Russian Airborne Forces and "in the know"?

[forest park 86]

Well, learn to see.

[iliitchitch]

I hope the chief of armament knows what he is building ... But the SVDeshka was not bad at all quite far from the base.

[CRONOS]

All that is needed for an SVD upgrade is a reliable and not expensive sight with a variable magnification of up to 10 and that’s all. =) And not bullshit hyperon, costing like a Lada.

[Loginoff]

If you shoot at pieces of paper, then yes. If in a combat situation then even x6 is not convenient for everyone. And with the accuracy of SVD does not make sense at all. Any imported bolt-lock hunting rifle, even cheap Czech one, is about 2 times more accurate than SVD.

[dvina71]

Any imported bolt-lock hunting rifle, even cheap Czech one, is about 2 times more accurate than SVD.

It depends on what ammunition to use on the SVD .. Usually, when people talk about the accuracy of the SVD, they give the data with the most common ammunition for the machine gun in the army.
When using sniper ammunition with accuracy at SVD everything is fine.

SVD has high accuracy for this type of weapon. The optimal rifling pitch for accurate combat is 320 mm. Until the early 1970s, SVD was produced with such trunks. The accuracy of the battle with the 7H1 sniper cartridge was 1,04 MOA (angular minute). This is better than even many store rifles (despite the fact that, ceteris paribus, a self-loading rifle shoots worse than a non-self-loading rifle). For example, the M1987 store sniper rifle adopted in the USA in 24 when using a sniper cartridge has an accuracy of 1,18 MOA. However, with a rifling pitch of 320 mm, it was almost impossible to shoot armor-piercing incendiary cartridges - they very quickly began to somersault in flight. In the first half of the 1970s, the rifle decided to give greater versatility and made a pitch of 240 mm rifling. After that, the SVD was able to shoot all types of ammunition, but the accuracy immediately deteriorated: when firing a 7N1 cartridge, to 1,24 MOA, and when firing with an ordinary LPS cartridge (57-H-323C), to 2,21 MOA. Interestingly, in the Small Arms Manuals they forgot to indicate this change, and for a long time they indicated the pitch of the rifling 320 mm.

[kolkulon]

So is it combined arms or for special operations?

[Strashila]

Another extreme ... during the Second World War ... when the snipers were armed with Mosin rifles and SVT, opinions were shared, the same thing ... someone preferred one, someone else.
Each rifle has its own advantages and disadvantages ... SVT liked the fact that in fact it was immediately possible to make a second shot.
So here SV98 and SVD should be present in the unit ... each will have its own goals and objectives.

[dvina71]

SWT didn’t break because of this. The main problem of the mosquito was the impossibility of charge-loading with a mounted sight. Therefore, they charged one at a time, trying not to touch the scope .. only with it, if you hit it. But the accuracy of the mosquito exceeded St. .., although they were selected 1 out of 1000 ..

[FIREMAN]

In general, for this rifle and its shortcomings can be found here (http://topwar.ru/28123-snayperskaya-vintovka-sv-98-i-ee-dalneyshaya-modernizaci
ya.html), in VO it was already discussed. As for SVD, at the moment in its segment there is no adequate replacement for it, and is not yet expected. Summarizing the above, I note that both the automatic and non-automatic design of a sniper rifle have their advantages and disadvantages in terms of ballistics, operation and maintenance. The quality of the ammunition used is of great importance, which often leaves much to be desired. In my opinion, the complete replacement of SVD on SV-98 is premature.

[Rustam]

It’s bad, of course - they prophesied this miracle, which is far from orsis or l96

[FIREMAN]

"Orsis" is essentially a piece goods of small-scale production and an ordinary conscript soldier is unlikely to be trusted. It is possible to put this rifle on stream, but the quality will immediately drop and there will be a return either to the good old SVD or to the SV-98. In general, the Soviet patron school was one of the best in the world, if this potential could also be realized wisely.
From my point of view, it is necessary to develop a new type of sniper ammunition. But here everything comes down to money: the development of gunpowder (a long-standing scourge of domestic cartridges), the design of the bullet, the sleeve, the development of the manufacturing technology for both the design of the cartridge elements and the entire set of assembled elements. An illustrative example of sealing the barrel sleeve with varnish at the junction with the bullet also affects the accuracy, and not for the better, but is a mandatory requirement for military ammunition (cartridges). Since the properties of a weapon are determined by the "weapon-ammunition" pair. You can also add a "target" to this system, I mean the striking properties of a projectile (bullet) when it hits. This is a whole range of tests. After adopting mass production. That is, massive material costs, which the state probably cannot afford so far.

[CRONOS]

I agree with you that as a motorized rifle ran from SVD, it will run in the near future. The rifle needs a larger scope, maybe with a built-in rangefinder.

[Bronik]

SVD was run in a variety of conditions and satisfied everyone who worked with it. Maybe you should not write it off so sharply?

[Vitaly Anisimov]

[iliitchitch]

That's it - crawl through the swamp - and apply. Kalash and SVD will shoot. This is the basis of victory. In all wars, I think that future ones will put an end to
INFANTRY, always. We hook the SV-98 to the tank, and on the firing range ... If after that it will shoot - into service. Business something.

[dvina71]

SVD is a product of the Great Patriotic War. Somewhere from the 43rd year, snipers began to play the role of supporting infantry. We followed the advancing and helped in case of difficulty .. machine guns, mortars, bunkers ... This is where the mosquito showed its flaw. He shot five times and that’s it. Cooldown for 3-4 minutes ..
SVD reloads quickly in the store and shop, is able to bring down a sea of ​​fire on the enemy. But this is a weapon of support.
A rifle is a hunter's weapon ..

[BYV]

Quote: dvina71

Here the mosquito showed its flaw. He shot five times and that’s it. Minute reload on 3-4 ..

??? The mosquito in the sniper version was charged one cartridge each. And if you mean an ordinary mosquito, then loading took place with the help of a clip on 5 cartridges. So 3-4 minutes - this is strong!

[Loginoff]

I saw shooting from SVD and from SV-98 at competitions with specialists. SV-98 is much more heaped. More precisely, at the competitions, the SVD in the civilian version was brought in by one of the competitors. They all shot from the "bolts". Specialists were with the SV-98. In the final, they shot 300 meters at chicken eggs suspended from a board on scotch tape. The finalists fired (and hit) at the speed of a semi-automatic.

do not confuse the ass with the finger. On the "civil" version there are other barrels, privates and not sniper ones. As a result, less accuracy, because this is a hunting weapon, not a sniper one.

[cth; fyn]

Quite often I watched NATO sniper competitions on TV, where they work in tandem, one with a rifle with a longitudinally sliding shutter, the other with a semi-automatic. The pair complements each other, performing various competitive tasks. Simply put, a bolt gun does not always replace a semiautomatic device, but a semiautomatic device cannot perform specific tasks that are possible for a bolt gun, therefore their teams were two people each, about how it was Mikhalych.

[Whowhy]

Based on the prevailing tactics of using sniper rifles in the RF Armed Forces, replacing an automatic rifle with a rifle with a manual reload is just some kind of nonsense ...

[tublec2]

Alexander Shushukin was my company commander in 88-90! Real officer. One word company!

[marder4]

[K-50]

bullshit toil. Is it possible to compare a military sniper rifle and a rifle for special operations?
The army must destroy the enemy on the battlefield. There are many of them, targets for the sniper and pull the shutter and with a reduced store? Bullshit. Someone paid well for PR, and they rush about it.
SV-98 is more of a police officer, where you need one, but accurate shot, therefore both the "bolt" and the magazine are smaller, since a large one is simply not needed.
When will they begin to think with their heads?

I read somewhere that the standard caliber sniper rifles are good for shooting up to 1km

Of course, one is needed, but this is not a replacement for SVD.

Even the Americans appreciated the SVD, and the new rifle will show how it will show itself in real combat conditions, it takes all the time.

[Dam]

A good trunk, rather heapy, but the SVD will not replace. If only because in one caliber. There is no point in a bolt under 7,62 * 54r. The gain in the range is small. I think the author lied, most likely, they will add to SVD add SV.

This is about the accuracy of SVD. The main problem is the quality of the ammunition. Practice shows that you can collect and minute Kalash))). My opinion (by no means indisputable !!!) that it was necessary to use SVDK and translate SVD and RMB to 300 winmag using the best practices on SVDK. The caliber is the same, ballistics, range, accuracy is higher.

[brn521]

To so easily switch from SVD to a bolt, it is necessary that in each compartment there was a selected Kalash with a good sight.

[Ardein]

Small necroposting.
In the discussion, everyone forgot about the fact that the philosophy of battle behind enemy lines requires the omnivorousness of weapons and the secrecy of their use. The second, by the way, involves fairly high requirements for the accuracy of destruction at certain ranges.
According to indirect data, the omnivorous SV-98 has most likely been resolved technically. And the second is the effectiveness of the lesion. Apparently, the SVD of the modifications available at the storage depots do not satisfy these (most likely new) requirements. So, in this case, the use of SV-98 is fully justified. Especially in a compartment with the ability to use a silencer and a wide range of modern sights (both domestic and foreign).
And so, something tells me that for a secretive fight against opponents at closer distances, it will most likely not be used as SVD, but BCC ... Something, again, fits into the very philosophy of battle behind enemy lines.
PS Actually, you don't have to go far for examples of such "universal" tools - 2C9 "NONA".
